Biography

Kano is a grime MC from East Ham, Newham, East London. Kano first became known on the UK grime scene for his work with his original group N.A.S.T.Y Crew and for a period was one of the few grime artists to gain some amount of mainstream attention.

MCing in the underground scene on Flava F.M. as a youth, after a couple of years he was scooped up by N.A.S.T.Y Crew (Natural Artistic Sounds Touching You). Kano used the crews underground popularity as a springboard and left N.A.S.T.Y His first track was "Boys Luv Girls", which was produced in 2002, was later taken to a studio and remastered by Dizzee Rascal. Kano first became known in the UK grime scene for his work with his original group, Nasty Crew. From this springboard he was signed as a solo artist and began work on his debut solo album. In 2004, Kano released his debut solo single, "P's & Q's", on a 12" vinyl only release, which was a massive underground hit, marking Kano out as a rising star.

As Kano ventured into the mainstream, he became criticised for not being loyal to the genre that made him.

In March 2008, Kano parted ways with record label '679' and is currently unsigned.

He is also the Older Cousin of Lawless.
